The present disclosure relates to various apparatus for controllably restricting an air flow to a vacuum controlled actuator in a vehicle induction system for the purpose of controlling a response of the actuator. In one embodiment the apparatus is a hose component having a hose that forms a flow channel, and which has an air flow restrictor seated within the flow channel. The air flow restrictor has a main body portion and an end wall having a reduced diameter air flow aperture. The air flow restrictor restricts air flow through the hose by a predetermined degree to tailor a response of the actuator in flow communication with the hose.
